http://www.spock.com

This site aims to be the next google of people searching. Right now they troll social networking sites like facebook and myspace and steal all your information and put it on their site.

Also, it's like wikipedia so anyone can logon and type shit about you in your listing. There's no way to have it removed.

What do you think?

I think that information is freely available anyways... what does it matter? Unless it's against facebook's use policy to make money from the information obtained from their site. Even then I don't see some massive privacy breach, it's just openly available info.

It violates facebook's terms of service because your information is only supposed to be available to people within your network, ex. Texas Tech or Dallas/Ft. Worth.

i'm pretty sure even phone books and such have policies that make re-selling their information illegal.
